Description
Hi! I have spent 10 years digging for records and now I am selling my collection! It sucks to sell my records, but hey, my loss is your gain!
I am trying to raise money for my art! You can check me out on myspace (myspace.com/justindelmer).
Record: Curtis Mayfield – There’s No Place Like America Today
Condition:
WAX: NM
COVER: EX
Comment: ORIGINAL PRESSING! – One of Curtis’ most slept on LPs. Has his version of “Hard Times” covered by Baby Huey, and “Billy Jack.” I don’t know why people miss out on this album…..It is just so damn good.
GRADING
· M…MINT...Record is like new. Its virgin surface has never known the sweet taste of the needle. A Sealed Record is a M record.
· NM…NEAR MINT…Record is close to the same condition as when it was purchased. A NM record may have a couple light marks, perhaps from sliding out of its paper sleeve, but certainly nothing that affects play. A NM record is one that was perhaps purchased new by a collector, closely guarded, deeply loved, and only played on fine equipment.
· EX…EXCELLENT….Record will be lightly used, but well cared for and never abused. There can be some marks on the surface, but most shouldn’t affect play. There should be very little surface noise or crackle.
· VG+..VERY GOOD PLUS…Record is a typical used record found acceptable by collectors. It has been used, but not abused. It has been played many times, but still sounds great. It has some crackle in places, or a pop here and there, but never enough to overpower the music, even during quiet parts. THERE SHOULD BE NO SKIPS! A VG+ record is good enough to sample or record, and I should mention VG+ is good enough for me, personally, for use in my archives.
· VG...VERY GOOD…Record has seen some serious miles. Maybe it got left in a stack, vinyl to naked vinyl, next to the turntables because the DJ got too f*%d up to keep his sh*t together a couple of times. It plays through, but there is a lot of noise—crackles and pops. VG records are great for DJs because a little crackle lets the crowd know that they are hearing a DJ using real vinyl. Plus you don’t have to feel guilty about scratching with it! To me, if you are going to sample a VG record you are either going for the crackly sound, you are a great audio scrubber, or you got lucky and found a quiet part.
